DHL Air UK - Questions - Good Place to Be?

Yes, I have searched the archives and I have read a few but I wanted an update about the situation at DHL Air UK. I have also looked at PPJN and noted that hiring is done on an as-needed basis (with attrition).

So, a few questions:

1. If one was lucky enough to get an interview for an open slot someday, would a 757 type be required before applying?

2. Do the DHL 757s solely fly at night or are there day lines as well?

3. How will the new Leipzig hub impact the EMA operation?

4. Despite all of the night flying, are the layovers (when people are awake) enjoyable? What are some of the better and worst layovers?

5. Is this a good place to be or is it a stopover for a better IT or BA/Virgin gig? Do the current pilots enjoy flying for DHL UK?

6. Lastly, do most of the UK contingent live in the EMA area or is there a lot of commuting?

Thanks in advance. Cheers
